Quote:paymypushsaid:Foxwoods has begun adapting blackjack tables for ASMs. The pits involved are pit 3 in the Rainmaker Casino and pit 23 in the Pequot Casino. They expect them to be installed by this weekend. It’s not clear at this time how many tables are involved.

I hear you but she has her money and I have mine. She’s free to play however she wants even if it is a sucker play on the slots. She gets her comps, hits a jackpot once in a blue moon, and is happy so I just leave it at that. Marital bliss.

Seems like a good opportunity to get her to stop playing if they tightened up the slot machines.

In fact a lot of slot players have played less because they never win anymore (even though those wins are just an illusion)

With the scheduled changing of the cards this morning, came the introduction of the new ASMs. I observed the entire process and everything went smoothly. Obviously the hands per hour immediately increased. The only griping I heard was that the cards are not seen before being placed in the machine.

The machines are on 8 blackjack tables and 4 Spanish 21 tables in pit 3 as well as 12 of the 15 blackjack tables in pit 23.

After each hand the dealer was putting the cards back in the machine instead of putting them in the discard holder.

I complained but was told it doesnt matter. I assumed the discarded cards get shuffled into the cards. Which makes the play unfair. Is that the way it works or am I wrong?

Thanks.

Obviously you are not counting, so it shouldn’t matter how the cards are delivered. What does matter is the increase in hands per hour. The house edge will grind you down faster with these machines. Hand shuffled tables are still plentiful in each casino at Foxwoods, so you should have no trouble finding them.

If you absolutely must play at a table outfitted with a shuffling machine, make sure it’s a full table to keep the hands per hour as low as possible.
